The PEM Standard readme mentions running some scripts post install to re-encrypt routes. Is this something that is needed or must be run for an Upgrade?

Question & Answer


Question

The readme file that comes with the PEM installation files mentions running some scripts post install to re-encrypt routes.
 Reference: ##
Post install/upgrade patching the routes (Configure SSL for OpenShift Route) This chart supports re-encrypt routes and requires the destination CA certificate to be configured in the route. After installing/upgrading, you must patch the routes manually for PEM, PR, PP, and API Gateway server with the CA certified TLS certificate.
The `routePatch.sh` script allows you to patch all the routes created through the helm install with the certificate information based on the <Release_name>.
Steps to patch the routes:
1. Download the `ibm_cloud_pak/pak_extensions/post-install/routePatch.sh` script file.
2. Update the following properties in the script:
* RELEASE_NAME= #Provide the release name used during helm install
* PEM_DEST_CABUNDLE_FN= #Path to the Destination CA certificate for PEM server
* PR_DEST_CABUNDLE_FN= #Path to the Destination CA certificate for PR server
* PP_DEST_CABUNDLE_FN= #Path to the Destination CA certificate for PP server
* AG_DEST_CABUNDLE_FN= #Path to the Destination CA certificate for API Gateway server
``
3. Ensure the routePatch.sh script and all destination CA certificates have the read and execute permissions (755).
4. Run the script

Answer

If we already have the routes patched in the previous version, then you will not need to run the scripts again after upgrading to 624.
